attle-scarred mount three months after Gettysburg Baldy was the horse that carried General George G. Meade fle to carry his owner again until after Appomattox. Baldy was a bright bay horse, with white face and feet. Ttember, General Meade bought the horse and named him Baldy. Though Meade became deeply attached to the horse, icers soon began to complain of the peculiar pace of Baldy, which was hard to follow. He had a racking gait then to drop into a walk, causing great discomfort. Baldy's war record was remarkable. He was wounded twice an the field as dead, but in the next Federal advance Baldy was discovered quietly grazing on the battle-ground,f Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. For two days Baldy was present at Gettysburg, where he received his mos of the Army of the Potomac for their last campaign, Baldy was sent to pasture at Downingtown, in Pennsylvania.rred war-horse followed the hearse.

e group. It was characteristic of McClellan that he should accept this homage quite as his due. It was characteristic of Lincoln that he did not seem to mind it. I would hold McClellan's horse for him, he was sadly saying, just one year later, if he would only do something. Only a few days after this scene at Kalorama, all the camps along the Potomac about the Chain Bridge were roused to a sudden thrill of excitement at the roar of cannon in brisk action on the Lewinsville road. General Baldy Smith had sent out a reconnaissance. It had stumbled into a hornet's nest of Confederates; it needed help, and Griffin's regulars galloped forward and into battery. For twenty minutes there was a thunderous uproar. A whole division stood to arms. The firing ended as suddenly as it began, but not so the excitement. To all but two regiments within hearing that was the first battle-note their ears had ever known—how fearfully familiar it was soon to be!—and then, toward sunset, who should

olding strongly the country between the two ferries, Kelley's and Browns's, seems never to have been appreciated by either Bragg or Longstreet, who had charge of the left wing of the army. The duty was confided to a single small brigade, Law's, of Hood's division, which was sent around the toe of Lookout Mountain for the purpose. A full division at least should have guarded so important a point, and one so exposed. It was about this time that Gen. W. F. Smith, known in the U. S. Army as Baldy Smith, was assigned to the Federal army, as chief engineer. He superintended the execution of the skilful strategic moves, previously designed by Rosecrans, by which the blockade of Chattanooga was broken. Also those by which Grant on Nov. 25 so easily, and with such little loss, routed Bragg at Chattanooga. The opportunity to blockade the wagon traffic was not at once understood by the Confederates, and it was Oct. 11 before it was fully enforced. After that date wagons were often ei

nt Meade: camp Pierpont, Va., November 14, 1861. I am very badly off for horses. The horse Baldy, remained with General Meade in the field until the spring of 1864. He was wounded twice at thehaw commenced. I hear there is great opposition in the Senate to the confirmation of our friend Baldy. I don't think they will succeed in rejecting him, but they have fought so hard that his frienda spent grape-shot, giving me a severe contusion on the right thigh, but not breaking the skin. Baldy was shot through the neck, but will get over it. A cavalry horse I mounted afterwards was shot sing through the neck of my horse. The one I was riding at the time was a public horse, so that Baldy and Blacky are safe. Our attack on the left failed; same result on the right, though with greattable, and they left delighted. Yesterday I put the ladies in an ambulance and mounted Magaw on Baldy, and we went over and took a look at Fredericksburg, and afterwards called on Hooker. The Gener

tinuously on the field, making the most strenuous exertions for establishing the line, in person bringing up and placing reinforcements, exposing himself in the reckless manner dictated by the emergency, during which he has his faithful old horse Baldy shot under him. He is now returning from Headquarters, to which he has been for a brief period, and while there having ordered Newton to bring up Robinson and Doubleday quickly to occupy the gap in the line to the left of the Second Corps. For astworks—a game we played this time to their entire satisfaction. The men behaved splendidly; I really think they are becoming soldiers. They endured long marches, short rations, and stood one of the most terrific cannonadings I ever witnessed. Baldy was shot again, and I fear will not get over it. Two horses that George rode were killed, his own and the black mare. I had no time to think of either George or myself, for at one time things looked a little blue; but I managed to get up reinfor

the last thirty years. Old Baldy is still living and apparently doing well; the ball passed within half an inch of my thigh, passed through the saddle and entered Baldy's stomach. I did not think he could live, but the old fellow has such a wonderful tenacity of life that I am in hopes he will. The people in this place have mnd know him, the better you like him. He puts me in mind of old Taylor, and sometimes I fancy he models himself on old Zac. Yesterday I sent my orderly with old Baldy to Philadelphia. He will never be fit again for hard service, and I thought he was entitled to better care than could be given to him on the march. I have justI presume, as the summer advances, we must expect considerable sickness. Headquarters army of the Potomac, July 7, 1864.

It was placed, covered with the national flag, upon the caisson upon which it was to be transported. The funeral escort, consisting of regular troops and the national guard of Pennsylvania, commanded by Major-General McDowell, closed around the caisson, which was followed by General Meade's faithful old horse, Baldy, who had carried him through many a hard-fought field, and by a long line of carriages containing his male relations, personal friends, officers of the general, State and city governments, and took up the line of march for Laurel Hill, through a city in which business was suspended, the public offices closed, and many private residences draped in mourning.
